Week 8 Flower (Day 85-91 | Flower Day 50-56) Day 85 - Feb 19 (Flower Day 50) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.95 / EC 1.674 Post top-off: pH 5.88 / EC 1.658 Noticed again that the real bulking seems to be happening under the very top tips. Pistils lower down are still white. This matters more than the “top of the tops” look. Day 86 - Feb 20 (Flower Day 51) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.92 / EC 1.804 15 min post top-off: pH 5.95 / EC 1.720 EC had crept up. Top-off brought it back down. Plant posture looks good (praying, not tacoing). Still feels like she’s in “steady stacking” mode. Day 87 - Feb 21 (Flower Day 52) Reservoir change at 01:00 New res: pH 5.78 / EC 1.752 Fed ½ dose of what Advanced Nutrients recommended. Reset felt worth it because I couldn’t find any res changes after Feb 6 in my notes, and I didn’t want to gamble this late in flower. Day 88 - Feb 22 (Flower Day 53) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 6.0 / EC 1.780 ~1 L consumed Post top-off: pH 6.0 / EC 1.894 (first reading likely off - meter acting a bit wonky again) PPFD noted around 790. Also: smell is getting more funky (in the good way). And importantly: she’s not “scarred” anymore - almost all previously damaged leaves have been trimmed away by now. Day 89 - Feb 23 (Flower Day 54) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.0 / EC 1.852 15 min post top-off: pH 5.58 / EC 1.724 pH came in low and got corrected with the top-off. Plant looks fine. No sign of new damage spreading. The trend stays: tops look “older,” but the mid/lower stacking is active. Day 90 - Feb 24 (Flower Day 55) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.56 / EC 1.874 ~1 L consumed 15 min post top-off: pH 5.67 / EC 1.724 Leaves praying. No taco. Everything feels stable and predictable right now - exactly what I want after the January chaos. Day 91 - Feb 25 (Flower Day 56) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.73 / EC 1.872 15 min post top-off: pH 5.80 / EC 1.786 Still holding that same EC band after top-offs. Some tip burn / slight leaf edge crisping visible on a few leaves, but nothing that’s escalating fast. Focus remains on bulking and resin rather than chasing white pistils on the very top tips. Thricomes look mostly clear with a few cloudy and no amber. Week 8 Notes / Takeaways Res change happened Feb 21 @ 01:00 (pH 5.78 / EC 1.752, ½ AN dose). EC after top-offs mostly sits ~1.7-1.8, which is consistent given ~800 EC tap water baseline. Smell turning stronger + funkier in a good way. Canopy damage from the old incident is largely a non-factor now - most of those leaves are gone. The “action” is in the mid/lower stacking and healthy sugar leaf resin production. I'm hoping for another 3 weeks of flower before harvest.
